Dan Cayer is the writer and voice behind YNAB’s newsletters, Loose Change, Round Up, and You Need an Update. He’s also a regular contributor on the blog, where he’s written about how financial trauma from generations ago can still affect partners. For years, Dan toggled between trying to ignore money and freaking out about it. Through YNAB, he’s come to see that how we spend our money is not simply an accounting question. All the effort and time we put into earning or saving, how do we want to spend it?
He’s on a mission to help people feel less ashamed about money; life’s too short. Off-screen, Dan can be found tinkering with his slow cooker, bicycling in the Hudson Valley, and wrestling with his two daughters.
